Forget Jurassic World .   People should be lining up to see director/producer  Judd Apatow and Screenwriter Amy Schumer 's  Trainwreck , as I'm sure millions  will be once word spreads that it is a near-perfect film.  New York native Amy Schumer writes her first starring role about a lovably candid New York floozy/magazine writer named Amy, who along with her sister Brie Larson , was taught by her outspoken alcoholic father ( Colin Quinn ) at a young age that monogamy is unrealistic. In opposition to her sister's married-with-children approach, Amy follows her father's thought-to-be wise words and hooks up with a slew of guys (each a brief encounter and then she bounces), including a surprisingly funny John Cena , who dated Amy because seeing her from behind he thought she was a guy. It's not until Amy is unexpectedly assigned by her emotionally devoid boss Tilda Swinton to interview the genuinely likable sports doctor Aaron Conners ( Bill Hader ), that ...

The Skeleton Twins is a small movie with a big heart. Estranged twins Maggie ( Kristen Wiig ) and Milo ( Bill Hader ) both attempt suicide on the same day, unaware that the other has done so, but to no avail. Maggie and Milo are a pair of broken skeletons who had parted ways 10 years ago because of a dark past that the twins haven't seemed to shake.

Milo is completely comfortable with his sexuality and in his own skin, unlike the people he encounters away from home. Milo uses c...

Jesus' beard, I have missed Larry David in my life. It's been two years since David's genius comedy improv show Curb Your Enthusiasm has been on the air, finishing its eighth season on HBO in 2011. Larry David is back as the star and co-writer of the HBO comedy film Clear History , which tells the story of Nathan Flomm, a marketing executive at Electron Motors who developed the first electric car "The Howard," along with his partner (and boss) Will Haney, played by Jon Hamm ( Mad Men ). Flomm then sells his share of what would become a billion dollar investment, due entirely to his neurotic ways. Larry David dons a homeless beard, a Jesus-gone-wrong hairdo, and a Hawaiian shirt while working at the office, who, as Danny McBride put, "looks like the guy who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart" - a worse office getup than Curb 's "casual Friday" episode. The brains behind Edible Arrangements, Flomm asks pressing social questions like: "why ar...
